It can be challenging to find a waste management system that works effectively in apartment buildings. Waste left in dumpsters in anonymous, and can lead to people not taking responsibility for sorting their waste.

When this happens, significantly higher tipping fees can be issued to the landlord for dropping-off unsorted waste, or the waste may be rejected completely and have to be resorted before it can be brought back.

But when a recycling program works, it can save the landlord significant money in tipping fees by reducing the amount of garbage.

Consider having the public outreach team at the Lunenburg Regional Community Recycling Centre come in to give a recycling presentation to tenants. Or, when accepting new tenants, include a mandatory visit from the recycling centre staff to answer any questions and help the tenant recycle right.
